Does anyone have anything to add to this?

I am curious about the common mistakes or the things you think about until it is to late.

Uhhh.... don't paint yourself into a corner? ;)

I took a look at a couple of those URL's, above, and I was wondering if any of the books that John recommends have at least as much detail?

FHB had an article about that a couple of years ago.  Written by a code enforcement guy....inspector.

Title was something like...10 Most Common Mistakes in New Construction.  Me, being of a certain age, can't remember what they were. :-[

They often post old magazine articles on their web site.  Might check there.
